RAVE: I saw The Perfect Dog For Us on Petfinder on Monday night. In case you were wondering, this mythical beast is half lab, half basset hound, our two favorite breeds. It has a very loving home waiting for it, including the cushiest dog bed I can find with its name embroidered on it, all manner of toys and chewys and greenies, and multiple walks a day in the dog friendly park. And training, because I'm not taking an untrained assbeast like my parents' beagle out in public. RANT: Called the shelter first thing when they opened on Tuesday and the dog had already been adopted. DAMMIT. I am committed to rescuing and to mutts, but this makes me jealous of all the people we know who got their awesome dogs as puppies from breeders. If by some miracle anyone out there hears of a basset/lab mix that's not super old and can be adopted to a very caring and responsible couple in SF, PM me.
Rant: I'm not at home in my undreroos as originally planned. Rave: But I am drunk and swimming naked in broad daylight. I love summer.
Rave: Kickass time at the zoo. Monkeys masturbating, giraffes were fucking, and lizards were riding each other....wild times... Rant: Why do people marry people they are not friends with? Do they not see that your mate should be your best friend?? So much drama...I never know how to be gentle when telling the truth.
Rant: 4 day's of drill started today Rave: Least I'm getting paid Rant: Why do girls always say they are going to commit suicide? I've heard it a million times I really get sick of it.
Rave: Unemployed no longer. That took 3 days from 1st interview to offer letter. Making the same salary as before and only having to go 3 pay cycles w/o a check, in reality. Was a little apprehensive about going back into the same industry & profession I had grown tired with, but the company seems really cool, the perks are great (on-site chef cooking daily lunch? check. Shorts & flip flops? Check. 401k contribution matching? Check. Stock options? Yussir) and it will help me get to a place where, if I want to venture out on my own in the future, I'll be able to. Rave: With all the free time, I'm Native American tan.
Not sure if this is a rant or a rave. Sitting in a tattoo shop owned by my best friend, and seriously considering new ink. Its already drawn up...she's had it awhile... Rave for seeing my best friend!
Rant: fuck a dick, I hate my job. It's so easy. I do whatever the fuck I want and just float by without issue. I'm not sure anyone even notices when I show up late, or not at all. I spent my whole young life avoiding expectations, and now that I am on my own, working, I am totally unhappy that no one seems to expect anything of me. That isn't ironic in the least. I haven't really fucked up, but I look back at choices I made, and I'm pissed because I wasted some incredible opportunities. I know I sound like a dick, but plenty of my friends didn't have the options I did, and still ended up in better situations because they had the drive to get there. I guess I'm learning that you need to fucking work for something worth having. That's a good lesson. I'll see if it sticks, but I'm hoping I stop taking things for granted. Of course, I also realize that this is a huge example of white people problems. Uh... Rant: There was such absurd traffic this afternoon on my way to the golf club that I gave up and just went home, even though I left work early.
Rant/rave: Hooker's post about skinny dipping reminded me of the two great failings of my life: I've never done a body shot off someone, and I've never skinny dipped with a girl that I haven't already slept with. The first is a minor irritation, the second has actually kept me up at night. How is it that I have pulled a playing card (Ace of Spades) out of a woman's pussy with my teeth, done lines off breasts and backsides, but never done a goddamn body shot? Oh yeah, I was fat and socially awkward when the body shot craze happened, and I lack the confidence to go skinny dipping. Sonofabitch. Rave: New favourite bourbon. This was on special for $50 (booze is pricey here in Aus, a 700ml beam white is $35), and damn if it doesn't blow previous favourite Maker's Mark out of the water. Highly recommended.
RANT: Fucking cold and flu pills. One hour proper sleep in 48. Fuck. I've never felt this tired in my life. I usually only get 5 hours and wander around like a zombie, but now I feel like the zombie that was attacked by other zombies and they ate my brain along with it... I want this cold to go fuck itself. I need to be able to do something when I'm awake and I can't because I end up fucking it up because I can't focus properly. Fuck, it's taken me 5 minutes of editing to get this far, in addition to posting something in the wrong window. Really, FML.
Rave: I love being home from vacation. I'm tan and best of all I have privacy. I just wish I could get back to CST. It's 4 am here and I'm not tired at all.
Rave: Cape Cod to visit family in Falmouth after work! Rave: Vodka tasting with them tomorrow! Rant: Only there for the weekend. Damn.
Rant: [insert zip code] Today: Widespread haze before noon. Sunny and hot, with a high near 101. Heat index values as high as 117. West wind between 3 and 5 mph. Pretty sure my spot is going to be the most miserable location in the location. This could be the hottest, most uncomfortable day I've ever been a part of. Oh and by the way, I land at 1PM from work. I'm certain I will have to wait 30 minutes for the parking shuttle. FML.
Rant. Fuckng goddamn electricity bullshit. Rave. New ink in the next couple of weeks! Rant. Its 830 in the morning on my goddamn day to sleep in.
Rave: I have a job, I have A/C, I have kickass kids who make me breakfast while I am getting dressed for work, a wonderful man who did my laundry, and I have money in my pocket. I am grateful. Rant: I really want some ink, I need to finish the zombiegirl (just her hair and some details) and get started on everything else....maybe the money in my pocket should go in my ink jar.
Rant: Well, the house I grew up in is on the market. I'm really sad about this but I hope it sells fast so I can just move on from all this crap. Rant: Feeling sorry for myself. Rave: I think I'm finally going to get to lay out and go swimming tomorrow. At least with all the house stuff done, I can finally enjoy a weekend.
RAVE: The New Boyfriend *TM is fucking amazing. I was sick because of the heat, so he made me breakfast in bed and then mowed the lawn. He does little things to show me he cares, like make time to see me and not banging other girls. I told him he was a unicorn. I thought men like this were just figments of my imagination. Rant: Old FWB saw me out and about with NEW BFTM, and was super nice at the bar, but then started sending me shitty texts at 3 am. NEW BFTM, saw the texts and said " Well I didn't take him for such an insecure pussy." Made me feel better. Rave: Breakfast in bed.
Rave: GF is going out with her friends tonight so that leaves me plenty of time to put the new heads on the car. RAVE: Demolition Derby tomorrow night at the State Fair. Time to break out the wife beater, flask of Jim Beam and get my red neck on.
RAVE: Fuck yeah! I just got a call from the civilian dealing with my file saying the Commodore of the base gave me a thumbs up to wing along with a fantastic letter of recommendation all to be sent to the guy with the final say. Interview with him will be either Monday or Tuesday...I'm fucking pumped!!! That's two out of the three thumbs up that I need to get my wings.
Rave: Just woke up from a nap. This whole being pregnant thing seems to be getting to me again, if I sit down for 5 minutes the next thing I know I'm asleep. Rant: I started reading A Game of Thrones on Monday and I'm almost done. I probably would have finished it this afternoon had I not fallen asleep while reading. (Not out of boredom, I ensure you.) Rave: Now that I'm caught up on my sleep I should hopefully be able to stay up past 9 tonight. I've been going in at 3:30am this week and it's definitely not helping my accidental napping problem. Rant: I haven't had to drive at all for my courier job this week and there's a good chance that job has come to an end. I knew it was possible for it to end at any time when I started and I'm actually a little surprised that it's lasted this long but I'll definitely miss the extra money.
